by - Jacksonville Jaguars
Predicted record: 8-8
The Blake Bortles era in Jacksonville is over and it’s going to help this team. Leonard Fournette’s injury woes not only hurt fantasy owners last year, but also the Jaguars themselves.
The team’s star running back is crucial to their offensive game plan because they love to run the ball and kill the clock while chipping away for yardage.
When Fournette is healthy the offense could have some moderate success because opposing defenses would start to crowd the box and that would open up some room for Bortles to throw.
Bortles is a guy who you don’t want throwing 25 plus times a game. Nick Foles is a different story. We have seen it even in the Super Bowl. Foles can throw the ball often and have success doing it.
We all know that Jaguars defense will talk… especially Jalen Ramsey. But there is no denying that there is talent on that side of the ball. Expect this defense to come back with a vengeance this season.
This team isn’t quite where the Colts and Texans are but expect them to shake things up in the league and grab some upsets.
Oh yeah… they also drafted Josh Allen. Not the quarterback – the edge rusher.
